The Brookland Foundation is one of the many ministries of Brookland Baptist Church, headquartered in West Columbia. Established in 1994, the Brookland Foundation is a non-profit, community-based organization whose mission is “to improve the lives of people by developing and promoting efforts to enhance their spiritual, emotional, physical, social, and economic well-being.” To accomplish this mission, the foundation has set up five primary programs:
(1) The Health and Wellness Program is an initiative to educate the community with information that encourages the pursuit of optimal health.
(2) The HIV/AIDS Program raises community awareness about the HIV virus, and encourages risk education and preventative practices.
(3) The Tutorial Program provides after-school and evening tutoring and homework assistance for K-12 students.
(4) The Homeless Outreach Program promotes awareness and serves as an advocate for the spiritual, psychological, and physiological needs of homeless individuals and families.
The Brookland Foundation is the brainchild of Brookland Baptist Church’s founding pastor, and a personal friend of mine, Rev. Dr. Charles B. Jackson, Sr. Last week, the Mike Kelly Law Group had the pleasure and privilege of supporting the Foundation by participating in its 22nd Annual Charity Golf Tournament held at the Members Club at Woodcreek. The firm will continue to support the Ministry of Charles P. Jackson, Sr. and the Brookland Foundation, as well as the other outstanding programs at Brookland Baptist Church.
